The feature list says that E-Prime now supports:
"Ability to change background color/customize startup info screen"

I need to change the background color to black (instead of white). How do I do this? Can you please point to the documentation for this feature?

(I tried posting this on PST's forums, but no one would respond. Maybe better luck on here?)

Thanks,

Hi Doug

You can change the background color of the info screen by going into
Edit -> Experiment -> Devices -> choose Display and press Edit ->
Default Background Color.

That will only change the color of the very first screen that is
displayed just before the experiment is run.
Changing the background color of the rest of your experiment can be
done in the individual slides/displays. If you want a special color
which, you can use InLine to set a specific RGB color:

for text displays:
TextDisplay.BackColor = CColor("240,240,240")

for slides:
Dim theState As SlideState
Set theState = mySlide.States("Default")
theState.BackColor = CColor("240,240,240")


I hope you can use it.

Eline
